Best broker is a myth. Brokers may be good for some and bad for others and vice versa, be it regulated, unregulated, small or big. But here are a few names with whom I have traded and they seems to have good reputation overall. Based on personal experience and from what I read on the Going OFFshore to escape CFTC thread here and other online forums, they are, priority wise -

Try it, you’ll see they do this silly slippage from the link below. I set my stoploss at 2% it grew massively and rapidly until they turned on dirty-slippage mode. it slipped to 15% on a single trade, and that just the beginning. They do it constantly to drag my account to the ground, when my robot on another broker do the same trading and get massive profits.

See it yourself then you’ll understand what I say. THEY’RE MARKET MAKER which means they get your money when you loss, NOT A REAL ECN as they said. 100% confirm!

I do agree, best broker is actually a myth, but one can consider the broker that has been used by majority and has good repo, at least I do this. I have tested coinexx from your list, they are one of the popular brokers on CFTC thread and so far my experience has been also good with these guys.

If you do want to use such advantages of forex broker you listed you should really forget about regulating things out there with that forever reasons for that matter no matter what. How else we really could go on there ? I do not really understand all that. Thanks!

Always talk to your broker as a good broker is one that has great communication skills and yes he must have accurate credentials to make your time in the market a profitable one good customer service is a key and on time and wise execution is a must. Understanding clients need and limits is absolutely needful A good broker must be regulated when you are trading with an unregulated or loosely regulated company, you will never be sure about the security of his funds

I check broker first by using demo account. Then I open mini account and see how trading is executed and how much spreads are actually charged. If everything is ok then I place larger amount of capital

Brokers are many. Except for licensing issues, should we also consider the broker that we want to choose is right for us? for example: slippage, scalping, swap fees, deposit and withdrawal fees … as I also mentioned a few brokers here In search of the Best Broker to start Forex trade

I am looking to open a standard account with a new broker in the UK (must be FCA regulated) however every broker I research - even the top ones such as IG and CMC markets have issues of market manipulation, re-quotes and stop hunting.

Any guidance from those placing trades of over 2-3 lots would be great!

Thanks!

It is hard to say that one is best or worst, but it is good to know who are the scammers, so the people can run away from them before they lose their money.
